“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“

A lot of people in the notes claiming Letterman is an asshole for laughing after this… But the truth is this gif set appears to be engineered to give that impression… I mean I hope that’s an accident, but he doesn’t laugh here in the interview, he just kind of segues into talking about Rocky and How Mr. T stole the show from Stalone.
